Duet

by Randall Ragers

I. There's Times

There’s times to dream
And time to get down to work
Thank God they are
Both combined being
A poet.

II. Without Drugs

The lie of life is
That without
A positive
Gene outlook
Outlook on
Life
Antidepressants
Don’t work
And most all of all
Of the thing is a bummer.
Illegal drugs, that is.
Smile therapy
You grinning fool
Is more effective!
And a whole lot
More cheaper than
The fucking drug companies
And the fucking psychiatrists.
